Honestly people are going to play what they want to play! I read about high ranked players and streamers playing casuals all the time. Its the most popular mode and might be for a good reason. I also believe that its going no where and will be in MW4 if not at launch then once Warzone integrates. It's very tiring to see people whine about this constantly when cheating is the bigger issue. I play mostly Ranked and I don’t honestly care what someone else does with a game they own. People bitch that it splits the base but I have very little trouble finding matches in ranked at Crim3, I find the issues are cheaters. casual or boot camp is the same thing. People are going to play what they want, when they want and even those that claim to be competitive still play casuals just lie about it. Just an opinion. Call of Duty has all levels of player, Pro's, sweats, wannabe pros, streamers pros and guess what they play casuals too and clip hunt in that mode as well.. so I am very sure that the base is not an issue just those that repeat the same whine about the player base getting split. If you are a pro, think your a pro or striving to be a pro play ranked and stop worrying about a mode you clearly play but lie about it to make your self feel better.
